Kilry Glen

Cateran Trail and Knowehead For some reason, the Cateran Trail runs along the right side of the fields visible in the foreground of this image, down to the minor road. Knowehead is on the left, Mid Derry on the right. Instead of climbing several fences and dealing with a bunch of cows, it may just be much easier to continue above the fields to the west a little while longer until the field above Kilry Ecopods, which can easily be traversed.

Small loch A gravel path leads from the minor road over Kilry Hill to Islaview Cottage. This lochan is about halfway on this path. The Cateran Trail cuts over this track at this point, although it is difficult to discern what exactly it is doing around here.
